Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

well, none of those really work because you've not used the right verb "entendre" it to hear
you need the verb "écouter" (to listen)

otherwise, they're just different structures with similar meanings

#

Should i rephrase it all or can you tell me the versions with écouter verb

heavy cliff
#

I mean, you don't need to rewrite them lol

#

they all mean roughly the same thing

#

the first is imperative which is more of a command

#

the other two are less direct

icy quail
#

What is the exact différence with the subjonctif and the direct verb after il faut?

icy quail
heavy cliff
#

just using a verb right after is a general truth
using a clause with the subjunctive afterwards specifies who needs to be doing it

icy quail
#

Can you translate both please

#

I wonder if they will have différent meaning

#

I mean translation

heavy cliff
#

There's not just one way to translate those

#

and they don't line up nicely with English

#

particularly since they use "il faut" which is a structure that English doesn't have

icy quail
#

You have to listen to your teacher carefully maybe

#

I think it must declare an obligation

#

And subjunctive is more like un conseil

#

So impératif and il faut + infinitive is more like an obligation in my opinion

#

Thats the way i thought
